In other prison news, 28 women who were held in a county jail in Indiana have filed lawsuits over what is being described as a “night of terror.” The women say they were raped, groped and assaulted by male prisoners inside the Clark County Jail after a jail official gave two male prisoners keys to the women’s area in exchange for $1,000. The lawsuit also claims jail officials allowed the attack to go on for hours, even though it could be seen on surveillance video. Twenty women filed a lawsuit in June; eight more filed a lawsuit this week.
